Here is how the furniture, light, and circulation are arranged.

SpaceCompact two-person bedroom in an urban apartment
Layout axisEntry and full-height wardrobe on the left, centered bed on the rear wall, and low window storage on the right.
Focal pointThe dark oak bed set against a charcoal textured headwall.
LightDiffuse daylight from the large right-hand window, supported by two warm reading sconces.
Main surfacesCharcoal textured fabric, dark oak veneer, warm ivory linen, and matte oak flooring.
DensityLow: bed, two nightstands, a window bench, and a full-height wardrobe leave the floor calm.
Storage visibilityThe wardrobe stays visually closed while the low window cabinet is read through its flat fronts and drawer lines.

Keep these points in mind when recreating a similar mood.

Make one charcoal textured wall wider than the bed so the sleeping zone has a single confident anchor.
Use the same dark oak family for the low bed, nightstands, wardrobe, and window cabinet to make the storage read as one calm line.
Place a long, cushion-free oak cabinet below the large window and keep its upper shade dark and visually quiet.
Keep the full-height wardrobe beside the entry flush and handle-light so it supports storage without competing with the bed.
Pair small warm bronze or brass reading lights on the headwall so the dark palette remains comfortable at night.
